DOCTOR’S MOTOR CARS.
NEW CZECH PRIVILEGE. Doctors’ motor cars are above the law about parking in the towns of Czechor Slovakia. The police identify them by a small shield-illuminated at night—carried at the front and the back. It depicts the serpent on a rod against a background of a red cross. These emblems have been provided for every doctor in the country. It is felt that a doctor must he able to hurry to his patient without wasting time looking for a recognised parking place. Dr. Alfred Cox, medical secretary to the British Medical Association, states that every medical man in Britain would welcome a similar privilege there, but he did not think the transport authorities w r ould sanction it. Conditions in Czechoslovakia, w’here there were few big towns, were very different from those in England.
